It is only in some corner of the brain which we leave empty that Vice
can obtain a lodging. When she knocks at your door be able to say: "No
room for your ladyship: pass on."--_Bulwer-Lytton._
I ne'er heard yet that any of these bolder vices wanted less impudence
to gainsay what they did, than to perform it first.--_Shakespeare._
Wise men will apply their remedies to vices, not to names; to the causes
of evil which are permanent, not the occasional organs by which they
act, and the transitory modes in which they appear.--_Burke._
